The senior pastor of Covenant Christian Centre, Poju Oyemade, has been bashed by supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, over a post on his Twitter page on Sunday.
Oyemade is the host of The Platform, which attracts resource persons to discuss matters affecting the nation. Obi was a frequent feature on The Platform.
The post tagged: “The wisdom of Solomon” made reference to the judgment of Solomon in the Bible, in which King Solomon ruled between two women claiming to be the mother of a child.
Although the cleric did not mention any name or make reference to any political issue, the tweet was seen as questionable especially with the post-election outcome, sparking a backlash and fierce criticism.
Oyemade wrote: “Solomon in his wisdom wanted to find out who the mother of the child truly was. He had a dilemma for the two women who claimed the child was theirs. Back then there was no DNA test so this could only be solved through unusual wisdom.
“Solomon said to bring out a knife and attempt to kill the baby. Whoever truly owned the baby will rather have the baby live even if not with her than to see the child die.
“There and then the owner of the baby was revealed for a true mother will rather see her baby live with another than witness the baby crying in deep pain as she bleeds to death under the slice of a sharp knife. Selah.”
His post attracted a flurry of reactions. Many alleged that the cleric ‘blocked’ them because of their opposing views.
Since the sham elections, everyone on the opposing side has pushed Obidients.
They stole our mandate and asked us to go to court. We did.
They said we shouldn't come out to protest and allow the courts do their job (but they came out to protest). We allowed the courts do their…— C H A R M X T O V A™????️ (@CharmXtova) July 8, 2023
You're a crook and a scammer. You're not any pastor.
Stop deceiving yourself and your gullible followers.
God's judgement awaits you.
Repent before it's too late.

Bullion van pastor.
See the way you perverted this beautiful parable of perfect justice and wisdom into a search for legitimation for an unsustainable fraud.

Nice, but suffice it to note that the true mother of the ' child' is Peter Obi, the other woman na Atiku, Tinubu was never meant to be in the equation, he is an imposter.

You cannot gaslight your way to the truth. As a pastor, you are meant to be an apostle of truth. But alas! It is a shame to see your unraveling. Retrace your steps before it is too late. You know the truth. Only that truth will set you free. Selah.

Your criminal mindset is second to none and it's a travesty having crooks like you mount the pulpit and disguise as agents of light.
Always distorting the scriptures to mask your evil.
All of you agents of destruction shall be exposed in due course.Tueeh. Your belly is thy god

Why don't you end the story where it ended? Why cut off the end to push your agenda? Solomon returned the baby to the true mother. He didn't let the imposter keep the baby. Tell your good friend the drug lord to return the mandate to the owner if u believe in this story you told.
